About the author

I love a good mystery, and the paranormal is certainly that. I had the idea for my Porter Biggleswade series after moving to York. Porter is a paranormal investigator with a talent for spotting ghosts, a useful skill to have when living in England's most haunted city!

I started in archaeology - Pompeii and the British Museum, before studying forensics; evidently, I delight in searching for clues. Researching and writing about the paranormal seemed the natural next step.

I also indulge my passion for intrigue through Amy Investigates. Extracting fact from fiction, I present my findings in my blog, allowing others to draw their own conclusions.

I really love this series. Porter is just such a fun character. She speaks her mind and doesn't take any nonsense from anyone. I loved her in The Haunting of Delavere Hall, and in this book we saw her traveling to Egypt to shed light on a mystery involving not only one of her current clients, but one of her ancestors with an unsavory past. There is so much up in the air at the end of this that I cannot wait to see where the story goes next.

A confusing start to this story where the reader is on the outside looking in at the characters. Not being part of the story continued for the first couple of chapters and this is why it only received four stars. The author, however seems to get lost in the story and it therefore becomes easier for the reader to become immersed in the book. Generally this isn’t a genre I’m familiar with but an author who can tell a story so beautifully is certain to do well. I recommend this story to all readers but especially to those who have an interest in ghost stories.

This is part of a series. I have not read the previous books and felt at a disadvantage. As part of a series, this may be of some interest, but I wouldn't read as a stand-alone book. The plot and intrigue were very interesting and compelling. The ending definitely leads to the next book, but doesn't have a resolution of its own. There is a lot of dialogue in this book. While interesting the accents being represented can be hard to read and hard to follow. Beryl sounds more Fench than Italian, and although I love Bernard his lack of all H's was hard to read.

This book was entertaining but took me a bit to read. I liked that there was a touch of the paranormal but not as much of a connection to Ancient Egypt I was hoping for and I thought there was way too much dialogue between the characters that wasn’t imperative.
